Personally, I think Khukri's should be able to backstab - a pointed dagger, what more is there to want?

I've added a poll if someone, for some reason, oppose this.

A khukri is designed to chop, not stab.

Yes, khukris are for cutting, not stabbing. Try wikipedia. They have no point, but a one-sided, sharp, flexible blade.

The term backstab means a lot more than just stabbing people in the back. It includes (but not limited): slitting of the throat, slitting open the stomach, and so forth. Just because the original use of the word came from someone using a thin pointy blade in someone's back doesn't mean that is the only way to backstab someone.

Actually, I will go one step further, kukris have an inside edge, which is perfect for sneaking up behind someone and slitting their throat.
